Profile
Michael C. Jakob is one of the best-known investors in the German-speaking world. Since 2010 he has compounded capital on one principle: buy the best companies in the world and hold them for a very long time.
That principle produced three companies. At Atlas Capital Management he allocates capital for professional investors across six strategies as Chief Investment Officer. With AlleAktien he opened institutional-grade equity research to private investors.
With Eulerpool Research Systems he built the data layer both run on. His own portfolio is public: more than €120 million, compounding at 26.8% a year since 2010.
He publishes essays, interviews and background on michaelcjakob.com.
Companies
Michael C. Jakob founded three companies that together cover the full investing value chain: capital, research and data.

His private multi-strategy hedge fund. Six strategies from fundamental equity to credit and quant, run under central risk management.
Offices in Singapore and New York. Professional and institutional investors only.
2017 · Founder
The leading quality-investing platform in the German-speaking world: more than 1,000 equity analyses, his live portfolio and the AlleAktien Quality Score.
More than 2 million investors, rated 4.9 out of 5 on Trustpilot.
2020 · Founder
A financial data terminal and API with more than 100 million data points on over 20,000 stocks and up to 50 years of history.
Used by institutions such as BlackRock and Goldman Sachs and by AI companies such as Anthropic.
Biography
Michael C. Jakob studied industrial engineering and computer science at ETH Zurich and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, followed by computer science and technology management at MIT.
The engineering training still defines his style: data over opinion, models over gut feeling. His early positions in Microsoft, Nvidia and Tesla came from exactly that understanding of technology and scale.
At McKinsey & Company he learned to break business models down to their real value drivers. At UBS in Zurich he worked with clients holding more than CHF 30 million.
There he saw how the wealthiest families invest: concentrated, patient, in quality. He also saw that private investors had no access to that knowledge.
In 2015 he founded Atlas Capital Management, a private multi-strategy investment firm with offices in Singapore and New York.
Every strategy is held to the same standard of evidence: point-in-time data, out-of-sample validation and continuous attribution. Atlas does not market to retail investors.
With AlleAktien he built what he had missed at UBS: hedge-fund-grade research for every investor. More than 2 million people use it today, and his complete portfolio is public, every buy and every sell.
His research needed better data than the market offered, so he built it: Eulerpool Research Systems is now a financial data terminal and API competing with Bloomberg and Refinitiv.
In 2019 he publicly warned about Wirecard while the stock traded above €100 and nearly every analyst rated it a buy. A year later it was insolvent. In 2021 he warned about Credit Suisse, two years before its emergency takeover by UBS.
Investment philosophy
Of more than 20,000 listed stocks, fewer than 200 meet his criteria. The portfolio holds 15 to 25 of them.
Durable competitive advantage, return on equity above 15%, strong free cash flow, low debt, measured with the AlleAktien Quality Score.
Few positions, each researched for months. Typical holding periods are 5 to 15 years. He sells only when the thesis changes structurally.
The rule at Atlas: judgment is welcome, unexamined judgment is not. Every thesis is tested against data from Eulerpool.
“I only invest in companies I would be willing to hold for 20 years. That forces me to pick only the very best.”
Net worth
Since 2010 his portfolio has returned 26.8% a year unlevered and 65.5% levered, against roughly 8 to 9% for the DAX and 12 to 13% for the S&P 500.
In 2026 the verified portfolio stands above €120 million, built not by inheritance but by compounding in quality stocks with his own money over 16 years.
The larger part of his wealth is his founder equity in Atlas Capital Management, AlleAktien and Eulerpool. Combined, his net worth is in the billions; the full breakdown is published on Michael C. Jakob Vermögen (German).
